Description
Fourteen-year-old Jonathan Brooks would like nothing more than to relax and read a graphic novel. But GANGSTERLAND is no ordinary comic book. When Jonathan actually disappears inside, he's dropped into a world of dueling gangsters, a flapper with a fantastic secret and a murder that binds them all. He must decide to become the hero or the final page may trap him inside forever.
Middle school survival for Jonathan is to avoid being bullied by his neighbor Matt. His graphic novels and drawing classes help him cope. But when a 1920's comic book pulls him inside its pages and he becomes a character, Jonathan must help Molly, a flapper and singer, from becoming the next murder victim. Only he can draw his way out of the book and he must find a way to bring Molly with him.
Molly's brother, Spencer is a power hungry gangster with murder on his mind. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants and what he wants is Jonathan to disappear.

"I read chapter one to my seventh grade reading group today. They love how easy it is to identify with Jonathan. They love the imagery and the way the action is described. They are sucked into the story, and there aren't even any gangsters yet! My class loves it. The writing style is great for a read aloud"-Renetta Fatula Morelli - 7th grade ELA teacher
Fast-paced and well written - I picked this book up for my 13 year old and we totally enjoyed reading this story. The author has conceived a charming story, including many elements that makes it an interesting read for kids 10 years of age and above. The story develops quickly and before you realize, you are at the end of the book and the plot is left open for the sequel. I look forward to reading more books from this author. - By RikiTikiTavy
"I gave it to my nephew who is a 12 yr boy and very much in the target audience. He really enjoyed it. He loved the comic book angle and found the story thoroughly entertaining. He liked the lead and thought it was great fun to read." -By K. April Holgate
